Far too many people forcing their opinions on others, and expecting things to change because they want them to. Vocal minorities (opinions) are trying to decide what should be and should not be acceptable. Let the majority decide and then changes will be made.

If the majority of the people were against the Redskins then they should boycott all Redskins merchandise. Stop going to the games. Stop reporting their team in the papers and on TV. If fans stopped going and supporting the team because of the name, the owner would change the name.

Why should anybody have to change their beliefs to conform to special interest groups. If the Native American's want to have the name changed then they should be proactive and purchase the team and then they are free to make all the changes that they want. Until then, why should the owner have to change his opinions or anything about the franchise he owns.

Money talks. Its the only thing that people listen to. Until that money makes a statement on racism in sports culture things are not going to change. Nor should they have to.
